And later Bi Yuan (1730–1797), Viceroy of Huguang, changed its name to Autumn-Admiring Pavilion. It is cited from the verses of that "I stop my carriage to admire the maple trees at nightfall, whose frosty leaves are redder than the flowers of early spring." (停车坐爱枫林晚，霜叶红于二月花) by Tang dynasty (618–907) poet Du Mu (803–852).
  When Mao Zedong studied at Hunan First Normal University, he often comes here with his friends, searching of the truth salvaging the country.
  During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), the pavilion was devastated by the Imperial Japanese Army.
  After the establishment of the Communist State in 1952, the government of Hunan reconstructed the pavilion. In 1987, the pavilion was completely restored by the government. The pavilion has been designated among the seventh group of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Hunan" by the State Council of China in 2013.
